[QUOTE="Happyhonkaman, post: 7423098, member: 35595"] It doesn't sound possible from the IT: [I][B]Mr Justice Meenan said an inquest is an inquisitorial hearing to establish the facts concerning the who, how, when, where and circumstances of a person’s death.[/B][/I] [B][I]It is not an exercise of considering or apportioning blame or exoneration, he said. The Coroners Acts prohibit questions of civil or criminal liability being considered or investigated and verdicts censuring or exonerating a person, he said.[/I][/B] [I]These restrictions however do not prevent an inquest establishing the facts concerning the circumstances of a person’s death even though those facts may be ultimately relevant in another forum dealing with criminal or civil liability, he said. Parties before an inquest are entitled to fair procedures but this entitlement is limited given the statutory confines within which an inquest takes place, he said. Sections 30 and 31 of the Coroners Acts do not prohibit verdicts of unlawful killing, he said. Questions of civil or criminal liability or verdicts containing censure or exoneration arise where the person(s) concerned are identified or identifiable. “In appropriate circumstances there may be a verdict of unlawful killing but only where no person(s) is identified or identifiable”, he said. The law also gives a coroner discretion to consider the circumstances of a person’s death. It may be that the more detailed the evidence is on the circumstances of the death “the less permissible will be a verdict of unlawful killing”, he said. “It is for the coroner, having heard all the evidence, who gave the evidence, and considered the submissions of the parties, to direct the jury as to the permissible verdicts.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
